Fiji Islands | photoreport

Fiji many at the hearing, but for some reason very few people from the northern hemisphere have visited here . Yes, for the residents of Australia and New Zealand and North America, Fiji, for us it's like Turkey and Egypt - to fly quite a bit and not very expensive. For us , of course , is a very long flight with long layovers , but still , they're organized so that the time flies by . On average , a flight from Moscow takes 30 hours ( 8 hours to Incheon , where we wait about 10 hours to fly farther and Nadi International Airport (Nadi)). If in Incheon , the plane flies completely packed with people , then in Nadi there are empty seats , and izvernuvshis can , with a little comfort to stay in two sittings and normal sleep - 10 hours after all.

[My new travel-video]

Flights were night and was so cool to see the dawn , just before landing in Fiji ( Fiji plane landed right on January 1 at 00:00 ) .

Almost all flights were carried out in the dark , and how cool it was to meet the sunrise on the plane for 30 minutes before landing in Fiji when the first solid dark outside , and then again and the bright sun , and flies you there, where for a long time and wanted to get it hundredfold increase impressions: you sit chained to a window and trying not to miss anything .

After Moscow winter and cool Incheon , leaving the plane you get heat stroke and understand that if we do not change the jeans shorts, sweat in a minute you will be showering with buckets.

Every foreign flight meets local musicians

In Fiji, a lot of green and yellow -green . They covered everything, even the mountains. Wherever you were in Fiji , you will see the contrast of colors, after which any green color will seem saturated enough , it really felt even after you looked out of the airport building . Think simple Russian village , river, green grass. Now add palm trees and green make even more crowded .

First impressions : Yes ! all that was to just do not count, but it's just Fiji ! From French Polynesia will blow the roof completely .

Drive a Google search on any of the pictures island , whether or atolls Caribbean Oceania - get roughly the same picture. On the main island of Fiji , where are the major cities of the state - Viti Levu you will not find white sand, turquoise water , and similar attributes holiday paradise - everything here as everywhere, even a little worse.

Almost all hotels and beaches are obtained given that you do not have so much choice , and besides , public beach is not so paradise - dirty, muddy water and sharks , what could be better ? But Fiji is not famous for their main islands - Yasawa islands . Here you and the white sand and small island with one of the hotel on the whole island . Then removed and the Blue Lagoon with " Milla Jovovich " and " Outlaw " c Tom Hanks , yes , to be sure - there was a honeymoon Britney Spears and Kevin Federline (sorry for this information ).)

Fiji - the main transport hub in Oceania, so that if you want to get to the main island of the region : Vanuatu , Tonga , Samoa , Kiribati , Tahiti and others - you here . Fiji , for me, was not the goal , so the review is not as detailed as it might be.

Russian people here can be counted on the fingers , but many local people, know Russian standard phrases . Generally , people are very kind and open , if you do not have dark skin - on the way you say hello ( say "Bula") any local , but make no mistake , they love free only to be photographed, and the main street if you asked - " Where are you from ? " , it means , or shopkeeper or " super- prodazhnik " that will soar your brain , for the sake of peace in the world bought him some beads or souvenirs. People are terribly pristavuchie and does not understand , or just good or open or cunning and calculating . But , in general , living in such a beautiful island , it is unlikely to come in person to the head bad thoughts .

Currency - Fijian Dollar , a little less than 2 times cheaper than the American . Average hotel night worth 80-120 Fijian dollars, and can be cheaper. Generally not very expensive country .

Traveling to Oceania - do not chase for five-star hotels , the prices of which are very large. Hence stretches myth that Oceania - it's expensive , but it is not. Hostely and guest houses on some of the islands are quite a penny ( from 200 rubles per day), as well as food . Family in this hotel is not settled , but not pretentious people - the most it . So according to the myth concerns , rather only of the trip here , and even then, it's not too expensive, compared to what some of the prices paid to stay at a banal izezzhennoy standard and routes.

Fiji - a resort for all categories of people and the rich and the ordinary. You can stay on the main island , in the room where she is a big double bed and one twin - for 110 FDJ night , divide the sum by about 2 and get a price in dollars and can settle on the island , where there is enough space for just one hotels - prices here have a little different, but not too excessive . It offers will helicopters and small planes landing on water. Taxi costs on average $ 10 , and is charged with almost all TAKSOPARK - Hindus them here about $ 40. That's what happens when overpopulated nation chooses another place to live . On the island sooo many Indians , a lot of advertising with the Indians , there is an Indian channels on TV.

Go to the islands .

Sunsets are beautiful in Fiji ...

Here is the same island Modriki, where the shooting occurred , and the movie " Cast Away ." Here you are planted and allowed to mask and you have one hour for snorkeling and explore the island .

And now look at the Fijian village. After Tuvalu she did not seem unusual to me , so just picture ...

Generally , to be honest , watching funny TV Fijian unnecessarily feeling that this is some amateur channel and lead him unprofessional , though perhaps I'm wrong, but the contrast with the Russian TV is.

Looking at the Fijian women in the head immediately pop images of childhood song " Chunga- Changa " cartoon " Boniface's Vacation " , etc. They somehow make their hairstyles lush and round and it's so funny .

And yet, how many times have you heard in Muslim countries firmly: " A. .. akbar "? Here , so many here repeat the word - "Bula (" hello " the Fijian ) ." In Fiji you hear it everywhere, it's everywhere , all his talk , you greet them , accompany , begin a conversation , just hard ! On another " Bula " from a local , I into hysterics and the man could not understand what was happening.

A few photos from the island of Mana

Fiji - a resort for all categories of people : the rich will find something to do to match , but ordinary people too will not hurt prices in Fiji is not large .

Try and do not be afraid a long flight.

Fiji cannot be compared with Tuvalu turned into a rubbish heap, but the fact that there are a large number of Hindus on the island should beware! India, a huge country, they turned into a source of anti sanitation and dirt! Now, imagine what they do on this tiny island! After all, they are everywhere, they feel at home! Will Fiji resist this billionth army of dirties? I think that hardly ...

Thank you for such bright photos !! Here I am sitting in my gray apartment and looking at my gray landscape through my window, and here it is ... I can’t even believe that there can be such a contrast. I’ve never been to Fiji, what can I say, I haven’t been to such places at all, and it all seems to me to be just some kind of fairy tale, and the photo is just postcards, or (for some reason from childhood I remember) landscapes on notebooks :) . No wonder people came here to make films. I think that more than one picture will be shot here. It always seemed to me that this was not affordable for an ordinary person, but you voiced quite real amounts. Well, of course, I’ll have to give up some things in order to save money, but still ... I’d just like to visit places that the tourist loves, where it is noisy and crowded, but I would like to visit one of those islands where people are practically no, and the beaches are virgin. In such circumstances, living is more difficult, but much more interesting. I want to feel like myself like Robinson Crusoe, but only for a couple of days. Only in such a place can you see the true beauty of nature, think about your life, and just relax. I will definitely set myself the goal of being here, only I need to be periodically inspired by such photo reports. These flights and transplants are a little scary, but one thing is good that they scare not only me, and people fly here to relax not in such a big stream. But as for the people who live there, they should be much kinder and friendlier than our average person. After all, they live in such beauties, here I just do not want to do something bad, and my thoughts are completely different. And it also seems to me that civilization has not "raked them into its paws" yet, and that makes their souls much cleaner. And reading the lines about their TV, I remembered my regional television somewhere in the late 90s, just a little normal equipment and lack of knowledge affected. The main thing is that everything suits them themselves. I would also like to see them personally, get acquainted with their culture, watch their dances, hear songs. I think that would be a very interesting experience. But such a strong solar activity is a little scary. What creams do you need to have with you? Probably our skin will not be able to cry to this, even if you live there for a long time. It seems to me that it is because of the sun that the green color seems so bright. I am glad that such places with such people still remained on Earth !!

Probably in my entire life no place has impressed me like Fiji.
I am a person who never spares time and money on travel, because I believe that life is given alone, and you need to spend it not on some quarrels, eternal work and not on negative emotions, but rather, you need to try to get out as much as possible into the light and see new places, visit different parts of our world and meet the dawn in the most unearthly places, for me this is frantic happiness.
I got insanely new adventures, insane emotions and impressions for the rest of my life from a trip to Fiji, starting from a flight, ending with nature and kind inhabitants of this nice country town.
It took us 32 hours to fly to Fiji, we changed trains many times, fell into the turbulence zone, it turned out to be not at all scary, and in the end we got here, but there was already an order, and this was a double satisfaction for me from the trip.
By nature, I am a person who prefers to keep pieces and photographs of the most beautiful sunsets in my heart, and this time I went to a real paradise. Beautiful place, beautiful, bright green mountains and unreal sky. At such moments, you get simply unrealistic pleasure from life. We stocked up sunscreen immediately and they are very necessary here, because here there is unreal heat both night and morning, which is very unusual for a Russian tourist.
The nature here is beautiful, everything is covered with greenery, down to the mountain peaks that look just beautiful, like in cartoons. In fact, the heart skips a beat, when you are already on this earth, you are greeted by the nature of Fiji and their musicians, with their beautiful and melodic songs. People here are very kind, constantly looking for a catch when they are interested in your health and try to make the most of their conditions in order to create comfort, before that I have never seen anything like this, except in Canada. Locals welcome new tourists and greet us as dear guests.
I also advise you to try the Kava alcoholic drink, which absolutely does not cause any “glare” in the blood, but a very peculiar drink that everyone will definitely like. But I did not visit the public beach, because I was very afraid of sharks, and there are a lot of them here, and it can easily run into vacationers. Our vacation in Fiji was a success as never before, I am extremely pleased with the trip and will return here again.

We were in Fiji with my husband this year and also wanted to share our impressions by reading your photo essay.
This is an incredibly beautiful place on the planet. Most of all, of course, I was struck by the good-naturedness of civilians. They are greeted as if we had known them for many years)) With smiles, songs and dances)) Even when you go to a small shop you are served “royally”. Amazing people there and very kind.
We stayed at the Wananavu Beach Resort 4 * hotel on the island of Viti Levu. The hotel is nice with ocean view. We ate at the nearest Korean restaurants.
Fiji's nature is incredibly beautiful. A lot of greenery and exotic flowers. The ocean, then turquoise, then blue, but how many marine animals are there)) It feels like you are in an aquarium))
From the excursions we took a visit to the caves for the whole day. As a cave lover, I really liked the tour.
We also visited the neighboring islands of Yasawa and Mamanuca. Words cannot describe all the beauty of the islands. As they say it is better to see once than hear a hundred times))
You can talk about Fiji endlessly, but we really liked it here. This is a very unusual and beautiful place and we did not miss a day here.

Beauty, as soon as I deal with finances, I’m probably torn here too) By the way, a separate plus for you for high-quality photographs is very important for those who have not been to Fiji. I think if I manage to get out, I will take as many photos as possible, of course, I'm not a professional photographer, but at least something will be remembered. I’m wondering, does such a trip need to be planned in advance or is it easy to get a ticket? If the beach season opens there at any particular time of the year, it would be nice to adjust the vacation and all things in advance to get into the midst of it. By the way, it’s noticeable in the photo that there are a lot of tourists, I think that most of Russia, now I often come across reports and impressions about Oceania, used to write more and more about Turkey. It is only a pity that getting here with transfers, it will take a lot of time for flights, but if there is a desire and means, then nothing should interfere, especially since such a flight can be endured for the sake of a fabulous vacation) In our country, of course, there are also many picturesque places , but the nature there is different, so it is tempting to go there, especially after your report) In a word, as soon as I visit this heavenly place, then expect a photo report from me;)

It will sound, of course, strange, but it is Fiji that I have more associated with my favorite series “LOST”, and not Hawaii, on which it was shot. Hawaii is always full of people, everyone is busy, the beaches are full and there is no feeling of inner peace and air around, you do not have time to feel the atmosphere like an uninhabited island. Fiji really copes with this five plus. There are almost no people, although I was preparing to see crowds of tourists, there seemed to be a place for hearing, but either the crisis, or something else ... There are no standard glossy beaches, but this is even a plus. I love long walks along the coast, rather than lying on deckchairs with a seal. But the most important thing is that there is no compulsion in service, or even in ordinary markets. Take the same, for example, Thailand - there they will just let you know, you get tired of the sticky service. There is no such thing in Fiji. You can calmly walk, enjoy a kind of meditative movement, clean air, delicious fish and seafood cuisine, and there is no question of different fruits. We also wanted to eat in the village, to look at the life of local residents, but we could not organize a trip. Probably, after all, for this you need to organize a group, and we thought that we could solve everything on the spot. :)
04/05/2020 18:09

Ohh, the legendary Fiji !! Their sun is really very bright, almost blinding, but their mood rises sharply, especially if you fly there running away from dank cold weather. I also remember the musicians who meet upon arrival, a kind of local flavor, but you immediately understand where it arrived and what awaits you - a real cool vacation.

Here the population lives poorly, but they love tourists, it immediately catches the eye. Sometimes there are so ancient cars that we can’t even meet, and they even drive very fast. But what is surprising, on the streets clean, garbage heaps I have not seen anywhere, although they are considered companions of poverty.

As for the offices for organizing cruises, it’s better to get around several at once, so you can find the most acceptable option, and bring down the price on occasion. I will tell you from my own experience - do not be afraid to bargain, this can help save a tidy sum. But it’s definitely worth a trip to the islands, I haven’t seen such beauty anywhere, I really got a chic pleasure from snorkeling. Fiji is certainly not very cheap, one might even say expensive, but such a vacation is definitely worth it !!

I was in Fiji a few years ago and, in general, saw everything the same as the author of this post. Fiji is, above all, beautiful nature and good people. People, to be honest, surprised me. At first he was wary of them and did not understand why they were so good-natured. I have such a character that I see a catch everywhere. But after talking in a bar with one of Fiji's old residents, I understood a little why they were like that. They are just kind. For no reason, without any evil or material intent. They just like to help visiting tourists feel as comfortable as possible in their homeland. Agree, this is worthy of respect. After that, I already treated people without wariness, and I myself became infected with their kindness. :)

The nature here is really magnificent. Taking 20 cool photos in a row is very easy in Fiji. Where not to look - everywhere or a view of the ocean, or on a hill, or on tropical forests. Of course, I wouldn’t live here - the climate is tropical, it doesn’t suit me, but coming here every couple of years is a pleasure. In general, I like these island regions, so I plan to go to Fiji again next year and get acquainted with this excellent state in more detail! I think it will be fun and interesting, as for the first time.
04/05/2020 18:09

I completely agree with your above words! Fiji is just some amazing place!
When I first visited there, I was primarily surprised at the incredible characters of the locals. There is no self-interest in them; they treat everyone very kindly, sympathetically, and are ready to talk as much as you like! Wonderful people, just no words!)) And they also love children! I remember, with my little daughter, one lovely woman talked, played and lisped almost all day on the beach!) Her eyes were so happy, and it seemed as though she herself was still a child ..)
In addition to wonderful people, I was very shocked by the indescribable beauty of this oceanic country. The endless expanses of light blue water and crystal clear water. Sometimes there was a feeling that the water surface merges with the sky. From such spectacles is really breathtaking!
In general, if there is an opportunity to go there, then in no case it is impossible to refuse! I can confidently say that this is some kind of paradise on Earth! Sand, sun, ocean - freedom! True freedom! Looking at your beautiful photos, I immediately remember the time spent there ..))
04/05/2020 18:09

Fiji is definitely an amazing place !!! For a month I did not see anyone there, only one old Fijian and her husband! It was just awesome. You get up at 6 in the morning, meet the dawn and then watch how the water goes, exposing the bottom for a kilometer, just go and collect shells, or snakes, I ran for an hour. I must also say that there is a large place devoted to traditions! And sometimes you have to be very careful. For example, you can’t just look at men like that, especially if the girl is unaccompanied. Otherwise, embarrassment may happen. A woman there in 10th place, if not in 20m))))). And from their greetings, I’m just crazy, the first time I was scared, I thought the woman was suffocating, but, it turns out, this is a way to share her soul, her feelings .... I will return there again and again, be sure !!!!!

Fiji is an amazing island, I only heard about them. Now, thanks to the photo report, I was able to see. Amazed by the sunlight on approaching the airport in Nadi. The feeling that something unusual and exciting will open behind this streak of light. Unusual indeed, but the landscapes were peaceful and calm. The photographer very accurately noticed: tourists in Fiji are everywhere accompanied by a yellow-green color. Often it is replaced by a mixture of green and blue. But not on the beach. The beach in Nadi is inhospitable. Apparently, if a trip to Fiji is for you a vacation, you should immediately leave Nadi. For some girls, rest is shopping, if you are one of them, stay, where else in Fiji, except in the capital, are there so many shops waiting for you? I am not a fan of shopping, so I gladly went further with the author of the blog. Mountains covered with trees all over the carpet, low buildings, palm trees and shrubs of lush green color, buffaloes grazing in the grass, coal-black Fijians and the ubiquitous Indians - all this is in the photographs. But the most breathtaking sky in Fiji. Sunlight at sunset is incredibly beautiful. You look at the pictures and you get the feeling that you are not seeing ordinary photos, but frames from some kind of science fiction film. It's time to descend from heaven to earth. The fact that Fiji is not a fantastic planet, but an ordinary state on Earth, had to be recalled, having decided to sail to numerous neighboring islands. Naturally, having visited Fiji, you can’t “pass by” Modrika, they shot “Outcast” with Tom Hanks. The blue of sea water is so deep that it seems to be molten liquid sapphire. (A strange comparison? And you look again at the pictures from the island of Fiji. Isn't water a jewel?) The photographer not only observes the beauty of nature. He also succeeds in portraits of local residents, especially children. Amazing skin color, proportional facial features ... and skirts on men and boys! National clothing that does not look like a Scottish kilt at all. Mana Island is not like Modriki. Even the sea waves there are of a different color. But he has his own beauty, his own unique charm, which can only be found on these extraordinary islands. The trip to Fiji was fascinating and unusual. Although I "traveled" by the monitor, I still have a sense of ownership in very beautiful places. I am sure this is only possible thanks to the talent of the photographer.

Thank you for such a detailed photo review! I also just love to travel, looking at the article, as if I had visited Fiji myself. I did not know that the locals are so huge and have a formidable appearance. It's funny that men wear skirts. I thought that such a custom exists only in Scotland. Probably, Fiji is not so viewed by many tourists as a place of rest, precisely because of the duration of the flight. Still, as much as 30 hours is not a joke. I certainly could not stand so much. Although for the sake of such heavenly beauty, you can tolerate. When I watched the film Outcast, I always wondered where the shootings were. Now I learned that the film "Blue Lagoon" was also shot there. The climate there, of course, is very hot, but it was surprising that it is immediately possible to burn the skin to blisters. Here you either need to wear closed things, or use the strongest anti-tanning products. Locals are probably already accustomed to and not particularly paying attention to the sun. Of course, it’s good to live in a country where the sun is shining year-round; you don’t have to buy winter clothes. I bought myself a pair of shorts and skirts and live for your pleasure. Although personally, I would very soon get bored of our Russian winter and snow. No wonder Fiji has so much green and yellow. Ecology is on top there, there are no enterprises polluting the atmosphere. The public beach in the photographs does not really look too interesting. Apparently, everything is arranged for tourists on other islands, and local aborigines should be content with small ones. Desperate, they are not afraid to run into sharks. They also earn extra money by selling souvenirs. You won’t earn much from this, but I absolutely agree with the author at the moment that money in such an atmosphere is not really needed. Local, probably not too tear at work. For the first time I learned that there are many Indians on the islands. But this is a people that will not disappear anywhere. Their country is already overpopulated, so they are looking for other places to stay. By the way, I always thought that relaxing in the islands of Oceania is really very expensive and not everyone can afford it. It turned out that people with average incomes can quite afford it. This is not a banal Turkey or Egypt, which has already snapped at many Russian tourists. Having traveled to Fiji, you can then brag to your friends that you were in such an interesting and unique place. Still, after watching this review, I personally wanted to visit Fiji.
04/05/2020 18:08

Once again, I look at the photos and think about how you can show the cities in a very tempting and beautiful way so that you can almost feel the atmosphere with your skin. as if she herself walked with you, inhaled the smells, tasted the air from the sea, inhaled the smells of the evening city, with its falling asleep streets and cars, talked to smiling and friendly dark-skinned people, so welcoming, swayed a bit in the hammock, wandered around the stunningly beautiful beach at the very edge of the ode, leaving footprints in the pristine sand ... The mooring in one of the photos, which goes somewhere almost to the horizon, is just something! I love places like it’s even breathtaking. when in front of such an endless sky, sea and space! In general, I see, the islands provide a wide scope for imagination and imagination of a amateur photographer! That's where you can roam with might and main! The views from under the wing of the plane are such incredible emerald-blue colors of nature, it’s interesting to just fly there so much in time, and with transfers, I’m afraid it will be difficult for some to withstand. In general, it seems to me that for those who are going on vacation and want to take a break from civilization, this is simply an ideal place. Thanks!
04/05/2020 18:08

One should not go to such a place for a couple of weeks, but immediately for the whole summer if there is such an opportunity, although I would have lived there with great pleasure a couple of years. I heard this name many times, but I didn’t know what was good and remarkable there. All due to the fact that I don’t really like reading and more often I choose sites where there are pictures and photographs, it’s much easier for me to perceive information visually than from a read text. Here, everything is laid out in a form that is convenient for perception, it is a small explanatory text and many unique photographs without photoshop and processing.
I liked the fact that there are a lot of beautiful places, of course I would like to visit almost everywhere, if we arrived in such a distance, then we must drop into all the beaches and islets. That is why I believe that it is necessary to go for more time than just a week or two and then it will turn out not only to lie on these clean beaches, but also to see more sights. I see many Aboriginal people in the images, which means there is an opportunity to get acquainted with a different culture, which is very different from the usual European and Asian. Good infrastructure cannot but rejoice, it is immediately clear that there they are interested in the arrival of tourists.

I love the film Outcast with Tom Hanks. I looked at your photos and found out on which island this film was shot. True, what a beauty there! And the water is what an amazing color and purity. A picturesque view of the coast of this island and from afar. What an incredible beauty. Straight heavenly place. An interesting shot of a cloudy sky, palm trees fluttering in the wind and flimsy-looking houses. Particularly impressed by the hotel. Against the background of such nature, it would fall off in this hammock and have a rest mentally. Interesting photos of Fiji residents, facial expressions, friendly facial expressions. Impressed photo with an animal (cow) in the grass against the background of green freshness of the mountains. The rays of the sun are breaking through, a winding path, trees. The background is like a rare picture. Cool photos of the Fijian village. Interesting grassy gazebos, roofs of houses. The beaded girl looks so seriously and continues her work. Another cool photo, where two men in some herbal robes, concentrated such. Probably they are preparing their national dish. Loved the scenery. I imagine you can admire the sunset of such unusual beauty and grandeur for hours. Many thanks to the author for being inspired and showing us what beauty is on earth.
04/05/2020 18:08

Wow, what an interesting journey! It is interesting that men in skirts, before that I thought that skirts are worn only in Scotland, these were the associations, and here there are absolutely colorful men, very charismatic and friendly, and, moreover, in skirts. About the fact that residents do something for free for tourists: here is the mentality of people! It’s simply unbelievable, because for Russians, even if you just smile, they’re already starting to think that you don’t have everything at home (we are just the same dumb people), and if you do something for free, then yes, they will think that it’s self-serving , or simply there are those who sit on the neck. The difference in culture and traditions, unfortunately, has a place to be. The sunrise on approaching Fiji is very beautiful, as is the landscape that opens before us, when the plane begins to decline. So this is where the Outcast comes out! I love this film and now I will have nice associations. And by the way, this is where there is real scope for imagination, because there is still something you can not shoot! And there are probably a lot of caves, such as in the movie? I wonder what kind of kitchen they have, it probably takes some time to get used to? If you look at each photo, you can find a lot of interesting things, and even the trees are beautiful! Thank you for such a pleasant pastime while I looked at the photos.

What a beauty, the eye just does not tear. Especially the colors, so many juicy shades of green from emerald to lime. Very beautiful mountains, we also have mountains, but there are no such wonderfully green mountains. And these islands in the ocean are as if alive, reminiscent of that “living” island with meerkats from the movie “Life of Pi”. People are so interesting in the photo, as from another planet, let people everywhere be warm and welcoming. It’s a very fabulous place, unfortunately it’s impossible to visit everywhere, and Oceania is very far from us, but there is an opportunity, after reading a photo report, to plunge into the green grass and blue water of Fiji for a while.
04/05/2020 18:07

Awesome photo report! You got very colorful and juicy photos. Islands - a paradise for lovers of beautiful pictures, it is a fact! I reviewed the photos several times, you managed to convey the atmosphere of the islands so that it seemed as though I had visited them myself. Looking through your photos, I recalled how I left the airport in Phuket a year ago, what shock I felt from the incredible heat after cool St. Petersburg, and how deeply striking I was struck by the locals absolutely selflessly to help foreigners who barely got out of the airport. The question for the author is immediately: did you have any problems communicating with the locals (I mean, did you have a language barrier, or do most Fijians know English well)? You mentioned that many Indians live in Fiji. In my opinion, the Indians are very positive and kind people, I believe that some atypical Indians met the author of the previous comment, spoiled by a big city and their own desire to earn as much as possible on tourists :) And about the not-so-attractive city beach ... IMHO, in most tourist cities and resorts the “main” beach leaves much to be desired, but tourists see beautiful brochures with the blue sea and white sand in the tour operator’s office and think that every beach will look like this. And no! For the "bounty", as a rule, you need to go to neighboring islands on excursions, there will be a paradise, privacy, etc. :) With your permission, I will probably ask you a few more questions. Tell us a little about the local cuisine! What dishes from the Fiji cuisine did you try and what impressions did you have of it? And yet, do you think it will be comfortable to rest in Fiji with a small child? Thank you in advance for your answers! I’m asking not just out of idle curiosity. The fact is that I have been living with my family in Thailand on the island of Phuket for a year now, I’ve become a little tired, I would like to go to other, no less interesting and picturesque places. I thought about the Philippines, Bali or Fiji, but after reading the blogs of travelers and looking at many photos of other islands, I concluded: they are all so alike! Friendly locals, tropical heat, palm trees, white sand, clear sea, numerous small islands around, magnificent sunsets and nature in general, exotic cuisine unusual for a Russian person, delicious fruits ... I would like to change the situation for a short while and visit another country , take a break from Thailand. Thank you for the interesting photo report! I sincerely wish you to visit many beautiful places and delight your blog readers with vivid photos and fascinating stories!

I really love traveling. You always try to break out of the city, go to empty places where people are. There are so many beautiful things in the world - so many people, so many cultures. But it is not always possible to visit such places, especially exotic ones. For those who live there for generations, this is an ordinary thing. People living there, after all, do not even think about what is around them. No, maybe some people think, but still. Part of a completely new world, unknown, and therefore pulls to look at these beauties from the sky, walk along the beaches, see the giant mesmerizing reliefs of rocks, green colorful landscapes. It is very interesting there. In addition, usually when traveling to such far corners of the world, guides or people themselves try to learn and tell as much as possible about what they saw for the first time, collect facts, interesting notes, and especially learn about the culture and customs of local residents. Even looking at the photo, you can feel such an incredible atmosphere - everything is really alive there, in contrast to the routine landscapes of cities. I have a small city, and I think that I could hardly get along in a megalopolis at all. In those places, civilization is not so developed, there are no crowds of hurrying people. Therefore, I want to be there. A completely different air, there is no wild noise of cars and everything else. Therefore, there nature is preserved as it should have always been - untouched by humanity. In addition, the climate makes it possible to grow various tropical plants that you will not see everywhere. What swings exotic food - it is also commonplace for those people, but they bring it here, reselling many times cheaper. People are mostly engaged in gathering, hunting. This is also an interesting sight, it is worth to go somewhere and see. A completely different life and view of the world. Somehow after this, having arrived home, you will see that you came from a much more pleasant place. But it is worth noting that the weather conditions are harsh there, but not in terms of temperature. Strong hurricane winds, tropical showers, say, also have their troubles. To some extent, you feel defenseless there, there aren’t those reinforced concrete houses and all that. But that is not the point. Travel agencies are doing just that, monitoring the weather, so that there are more tourists and fewer complaints. Therefore, it’s worth getting together there somehow. Take your favorite people or friends. With friends it’s generally wonderful - there will be something to share, and then tell the rest)

Thank you for your blog and a detailed photo report on Fiji. Going to Fiji is my husband’s dream, but I’m very afraid of flights, even 2-3 hours, and even about 30 hours and even with transfers, there’s nothing to say. Now she slowly began to collect information about the country, my husband still persuaded me to go to Fiji in 2015, and deep down I really want to visit the other side of the world. I'd like to see the culture of other countries, the exact opposite of what we usually see on vacation. Most often, Russians fly to Turkey and Egypt because of their all-inclusive system, cleaned beaches and a short flight. Most people will fly hard to the other side of the earth, knowing that there can be sharks on the beach and stingrays in the sand. The poverty of the local population of Fiji is amazing, although really, why do they need money there. They lived like that for many centuries and did not complain. For example, in the same Egypt, tourism brings the main profit to the budget, but everything is built up at a tremendous pace there and is aimed at ensuring that the tourist returns to their country. Although Egypt will not be able to boast of pristine sea and nature, for which a tourist flies precisely to Fiji. He will fly to Fiji as an average person without any requests (again, in a room for 20 bucks a night there can probably be bugs and cockroaches and other "charms"), or a fat bag who doesn’t care how much to pay for the rest, because he flies to a five-star hotel to have fun snow-white beaches. I think that the decisive factor in choosing this country for vacation is still the lack of civilization. You say the locals are friendly with tourists, and why not. I get the impression (although in my opinion this is a scientifically proven fact) that if a person lives in the country and sees the sun 365 days a year, he produces the hormone of happiness, so he is happy from everyone and only wishes good to everyone. If the locals rush at visitors, this is unlikely to provide the country with a flow of tourists. For me, the big minus is that in Fiji, excursions are not created for archeology lovers, but basically it's active pastime, diving, snorkeling and more. Many people visit the islands of Fiji just to lay all their rest on the beach, sunbathing and drinking guava or cava juice. For 2 weeks of lying on the beach, I would have finally caked on, and I have no special desire to watch the local “flavor”. Everyone chooses a lesson for themselves, in Fiji there is just where to turn around.

For a man who goes to work five days a week and every time after work he returns to his usual Russian apartment in an ordinary Russian brick house, Fiji seems like just another planet. The photo report is cool, and most importantly, the pictures are all of excellent quality. From a Fiji plane, they look like some lost Shangri-La. The most striking airport. We are all used to the fact that when someone flies somewhere, there are always crowds of people with luggage at the airport, all this is noisy and chaotic, but here it’s somehow at home, or something. Their tracks are so neat, although the asphalt is not in perfect condition. Although, I’m sure that when you fly to Fiji, asphalt is the last thing that worries you. By the way, I would love to try Cava. I heard a lot of myths about her, I would like to see for myself what kind of miracle drink it is. Most importantly, a trip to Fiji for our tourist will cost much more than actually staying there. I think that it’s not at all a pity to give $ 50-60 a day for housing in such a paradise. But the sunset, by the way, as if confirms that for us it is another planet. I wonder why such a beauty in the sky happens? As if giant lighthouses are slowly extinguishing and preparing for bed. I especially liked the small islands. On this you can sail by boat or scooter, stay there at least a whole day away from everyone. The main thing is that some kind of hurricane does not start. Paradise is paradise, but probably when the elements rage in such places, it’s scary. Still, the infrastructure there is not as developed as in large countries. The Fijian village really liked. You look at these people and are not even surprised that they don’t want to move somewhere to the city - they have everything for life there. And it would be strange to compare life in a bustling city and where there are literally 10 steps to the sea. In addition, they always have the opportunity, if necessary, to go to the city. In general, looking at this photo report, I realized that a trip to Fiji was slowly becoming my dream. It is unlikely that it will be possible to implement it in the next couple of years, but, as they say, hope will not fade away. It would be especially interesting to visit the place where the Outcast was shot - to feel like a little Robinson. And the water there is so clean. By the way, it’s interesting, but what about the situation with dangerous marine animals? Are there sharks? And then a trip to Fiji may not be as fabulous as we would like.

It can be seen immediately that the photo report was made by a person who loves to travel, sincerely respects the customs and traditions of the peoples inhabiting interesting and attractive places in different parts of the world. Fiji is seen as part of an unusual culture for Russians, where the centuries-old traditions of local tribes intersect with Western values. The main revenue item of the budget is tourism, this is the basis for the entire economic policy strategy. First of all, it is ensuring a comfortable stay, using favorable climatic conditions and modern entertainment technologies. A high level of service in the field of food, the number of restaurant establishments mentioned by the author attracts tourists with different, sometimes even excessive requirements. Beaches can be said to be made for everyone. There are also furnished for the refined audience, there are budget city ones, and there are places for fans of extreme sports or outdoor activities. The attitude of local residents towards visitors on vacation is benevolent. This is the local mentality, and the official policy towards attracting new tourists and maintaining attractiveness for those who have already visited before. At the expense of tourism, an original culture of the population develops, which, in turn, attracts additional categories of new ones, it turns out such a connected cycle of interaction in which everyone wins. It should also be noted that the features of local nature are effectively used. These are excursion routes to mountain and forest areas, where you can see rare exotic representatives of flora and fauna. And boat trips, where you can capture on camera the living inhabitants of the water world, of which not everyone is so friendly towards strangers. In general, of course, you need to plan your trip in advance and determine your goals, after collecting all the information. After all, it is impossible to visit the numerous islands of Fiji in a short period of time, priorities should be highlighted. It’s better if you capture the main events on a video or photo camera, then you can collect a vivid collection of delightful moments of relaxation, and joint photographs with aborigines will leave unforgettable memories of visiting this paradise on our planet, where you were met as best old friends, and accompanied with the wishes of a speedy return.

I liked this place most of all because of the photos, because there is a very large variety of landscapes, almost everything. Some photos show the terrain very similar to our southern region, the same small mountains with similar vegetation. And there are places with vegetation, which we do not grow anywhere else, these are all kinds of palm trees and other ornamental plants, which are presented in Fiji in great abundance. But the diversity is not limited to this, look not at the beaches, there are similar to those that we have in the Krasnodar Territory or in Abkhazia, I see these pictures, then I thought that they were made in these places. And there are other beaches, where the sand is cleaner and it looks more beautiful, such are usually on the advertising booklets of travel agencies, which in the most colorful colors should cause a person’s desire to go to these heavenly places. In a word, this is a unique place where you can move a short distance to find yourself in both our familiar surroundings and the exotic. It would be interesting to get acquainted with the national cuisine of Aborigines, in which there is probably a lot of seafood. And that means they have excellent health, because in these products there is a lot of iodine and sea fish oil, which is one of the most useful substances for the human body. I started to envy those who were born in this wonderful place, there is a great opportunity to enjoy the view of the mountains, beautiful gardens and islands with the best places for rest on earth every day. They have nowhere to go and do not need to rest, because everything is at their fingertips and they are unlikely to be in other places. If you count how much they save on the fact that they do not need annual holiday trips, then for a couple of decades a decent amount is accumulated. And I still can not fail to note the development of infrastructure, it is usually difficult to get to such places, here there is everything, starting from the airport and ending with good roads with a smooth surface in appearance which is not inferior to that found in European countries. And with transport everything is decent, it is clear that there are a lot of taxis there, and there are also no problems in the water and you can hire a boat with an instructor who will take you on a tour or rest away from people's eyes. And all this becomes clear after viewing the photos, which showed the beauty and development of these places better than any story.

When you are so warmly welcomed and trying to help, in my opinion, even for the sake of it, you should endure a lot of time that is spent on getting to your destination. But of course, this is not the main goal. And the fact that the airport provides all the amenities is only a plus for them. So they care about the fate of people who have been with them at least once. The view from the porthole when you flew up to Fiji - really liked it! Well, now I know where the film "Blue Lagoon" was filmed. You know, I even think that with similar articles, I will study geography more than at school. It's so much more interesting. It is a pity that in school times teachers didn’t pay so much attention to their subject, perhaps even then there would be an interest in traveling. And as for sunburn creams, it seems to me that there are no normal and high-quality ones, they really do not help anything, sometimes they make it even worse. But let's not talk about it! :) Local musicians? Nicely! Immediately obvious, people love their job and also in addition tourists :) Yes, nature, cleanliness can not but rejoice. It remains only to dream that sometime our countries will reach such a level. I sincerely hope so! And you? Do you agree with the phrase: "If you want to change the world, start with yourself." It seems to me that it is in this place that such a rule is adhered to. I probably would. she also refused such an alcoholic drink :) It often happens that our body is not very adapted to the cuisine of other countries. I can only imagine how many restaurants and shops in Fiji. A public beach is likely only for the bravest. Sharks. I hope I will never be lucky enough to see them and I wish you the same! How many children are there on the beach and are they not afraid? :( A lover of green, yes it's me :) It's beautiful, you will not say anything. Hostels - this is the most current and budget option, but not suitable for people who are accustomed to very good amenities, as for me. Sunsets are something worth staying at and watching. I have not seen such sunsets in life. It seems to me that every city, every country has its own “personal” sunset. Why do people need money? The question is interesting. Perhaps, after all they lack something. Extra money never hurts! One girl said the following phrase: “They write that the perfect gift for traveling is a map. And I think that the perfect gift for traveling is money.” Agree, there are people from these parts who are ready to travel like you. How familiar, when you hear funny foreign words very often, I have this happen with the Polish language :)

All BULA! The photo report is just awesome, as is the description of what is happening! Most recently were in Thailand, instantly in love with him! Thais at first glance look a bit ... aggressive. The very first minute of communication dispels this false opinion. I want to go to a place like that and it seems to me that Fiji itself and people, as it turned out, are also very good-natured. Getting the truth is long, but it's worth it, I'm sure. I thought, like the majority of the Russian population, that a significant amount would be needed to travel to Fiji, the author dispelled all thoughts about this! The main thing is not to succumb to the herd instinct and hello savings! Why is there such a stunted beach on the main island?) Well, just no! But this does not spoil the impressions of the overall picture. She is amazingly beautiful! It was also astonishing that two films were shot on the neighboring island, one of which I can call one of the best films in my film collection, the movie “Outlaw”. But in the photo it looks a bit smaller. Hindus! It was here that I caught a light shock, so it’s necessary, 40% (Author, you put a dollar sign) Back in New York, they seemed to me not very pleasant in general, especially after I refused to buy a hot dog from them) Opinion maybe wrong, but the sediment remained! I hope I'm wrong and this was an exception. The hotels look very impressive and colorful. And what a sunset on the photo-UAU! As if somewhere in the distance, the Atomic and the wave rushed at a furious speed right at you, in a good way) the wave-buzz and impressions! All nature is very contrasting, the greens are saturated and not dusty by transport and other metropolis factors. I remember how the impression deteriorated after visiting Beijing - a very gray, noisy and not at all atmospheric city. Local people really look funny. Googled photo of women Fiji- very .. extravagant by our standards) Everyone has different tastes, some people like traveling to Europe, to countries more civilized, where the way of life is in many ways similar to ours. For me, to see and experience something different and maybe strange and shocking in part, but surprisingly beautiful, costs much more than the ordinary rhythm of life in Europe itself. I like everything incomprehensible and unexplored, surrounded by some inexplicable aura, which I want to touch at least not much, soak up some of this energy and carry it with me. I wish you all amazing adventures and unforgettable impressions! Thanks to the author! Perhaps we would have remained in ignorance for a long time about this unique Republic of Fiji and its islands surrounded. I would like to know from the author- "How much did the train cost to Fiji and visit the neighboring islands? How long did you go?" Thank!

I've been surfing online more than three hours nowadays, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful value enough for me.

Oh, how I love traveling and exploring new places. And visit to Fiji - it's just perfect for me to get certainly not so easy for a long time, but believe me, it's worth it. I look at the pictures and admire the colors, because I have exactly the same bright and vivid photos. And what beautiful clouds, even the flight will be remembered for a lifetime, not to mention what he saw at the arrival point. Yasawa Islands enriched paradisiacal beaches, admire looking at the photos and warm memories of what he saw. Nobody will regret if visit here and feel the emotions on yourself, because in the story still will not transfer all those emotions and feelings.

Some photos show the area is very much similar to our southern region, the same small mountains with similar vegetation.

And there are other beaches where the sand and it looked cleaner and prettier, such are usually on the brochures of travel agencies, which in the most vibrant colors should call a person a desire to go to these heavenly places. In short it is a unique place where there can be moved a short distance to be as familiar to us in the environment and exotic. It would be interesting to meet with national Aboriginal kitchen in which there is certainly a lot of seafood. And this means that they have excellent health, because these products a lot of iodine and sea fish oil, which is one of the most nutrients for the human body. I already started a little envious of those who were born in this wonderful place, there is a great opportunity every day to enjoy mountain views, beautiful gardens and the island with the best places on earth to stay. They have nowhere to go and do not need to stay, because everything is at hand and it is unlikely in other places they like. If you calculate how much they save on that do not require annual trips to rest, then for a couple of decades typed decent amount. And I can not mention of infrastructure, usually in places difficult to get there, but here there is everything from the airport and ending with good roads with a smooth coating appearance is not inferior to that found in European countries. And to transport everything is well, it is clear that there are plenty of taxis and on the water as there are no problems and you can hire a boat with an instructor who will take on a trip or stay away from human eyes. And it all becomes clear after viewing the photos, which is better than any story showed the beauty and sophistication of these places.

For a man who five days a week and goes to work every time after work to nourish ordinary Russian apartment in the usual Russian brick house, Fiji seems to be just another planet. Photo-cool, and most importantly, all of excellent quality pictures. Plane of Fiji look like some lost Shangri-La. Most striking airport. We all used to that when somewhere arrives at the airport necessarily crowds with luggage, all noisy and chaotic, but then once home to something. Paths they have such neat though, asphalt is not in perfect condition. Although, I'm sure that when you fly to Fiji, the asphalt - it's the last thing you care about. By the way, Kava I'd love to try. Heard a lot of myths about it, I would like very sure what this miracle drink. Most importantly, the trip to Fiji for our camper will cost much more expensive than actually living there. I think that $ 50-60 per night for accommodation in this little corner of paradise is not to give a pity. But the sunset, by the way, seems to confirm that for us it is another planet. Interestingly, due to which such beauty in the sky is going on? Like giant beacons slowly quenched and prepared for bed. I especially liked the little islands. You can sail on a boat or scooter to be there for at least a day away from everyone. The main thing that has not started any hurricane. Paradise paradise, but perhaps when the element is raging in places that scary. Still, the infrastructure was not as developed as in larger countries. Fijian village loved. You look at these people and do not even wonder why they do not want to move anywhere in the city - they have after all for life and there. And to compare life in a bustling city, and where the sea is literally 10 steps, it would be strange. Besides, they always have the opportunity to need to go into town. Generally, seeing this photo report, I realized that a trip to Fiji slowly becoming my dream. Unlikely to implement it in the next couple of years, but as they say, will not go out hope. Especially it would be interesting to visit the place where the "rogue states" shot - feel a little Robinson. And the water is so clean there. Incidentally, I wonder, and how there dealing with dangerous marine life situation? Whether sharks? And then a trip to Fiji may be not so fabulous, as might be desired.

Immediately clear that while photo-was a person who loves to travel, sincerely respects the customs and traditions of the peoples of interesting and attractive places in different parts of the world. Fiji is considered as part of an unusual for the Russian culture, where centuries-old traditions of local tribes intersect with Western values. The main tourist revenue collection, this whole strategy is based economic policy. First and foremost, is to ensure a comfortable stay, using favorable climatic conditions and modern entertainment technology. High level of service in the field of nutrition, the number of restaurant establishments mentioned by the author, attracts tourists with different, sometimes even with excessive demands. Beaches can be said for all created. There and equipped for gourmet public have budget city, and there are places for fans of extreme sports or outdoor activities. The attitude of local residents to come to stay friendly. This local mentality and official policy to attract new tourists and conservation appeal to those who have already visited before. Through tourism develops distinctive culture of the population, which in turn attracts more new categories, is so associated cycle of interaction in which everyone wins. It should also be noted that the effective use of local natural features. This excursion routes in mountainous and forested areas, where you can see rare exotic flora and fauna. And boat trips where you can capture on camera living inhabitants of the watery world, of which not all that friendly to strangers. In general, of course, need to plan ahead and determine your travel goals, preassembled complete information. After visiting numerous islands of Fiji for a short time is not possible, allocate priorities. Better if you commit the main events on the video or photo camera, then be able to collect a bright collection of amazing moments of relaxation and joint pictures with the natives will leave unforgettable memories of visiting this paradise on earth, where you were greeted as old friends the best, and accompanied with the wishes of a speedy return.

Very much I love to travel. Always trying to escape from the city, go to the empty spaces where people. In the world there is so much wonderful - so many people, so many cultures. But it is not always possible to visit such places, especially in the exotic. For those who lived there for generations, it is a mundane thing. People living there, because, do not even think about what's around them. No, and some may think, but still. Part of a completely new world of the unknown, so it's tempting to look at these beauties from the sky, like the beaches, fascinating reliefs see giant rocks, mottled green landscapes. There is very interesting. Besides, usually arriving in such distant corners of the world, the guides themselves or people trying to learn as much as possible and talk more about what they saw for the first time, gather the facts, interesting notes, and especially - to learn about the culture and custom of the locals. That's even looking at the photo, there is such an incredible atmosphere - there really everything is alive, unlike routine landscapes of cities. I have a small town, and I think that could hardly get along at all in the city. In those places civilization is not so well developed, no crowds of people hurrying. So so want to be there. Completely different air, no wild noise machines and everything else. Therefore, there is preserved nature the way it always should have been - untouched by mankind. Besides climate gives grow various tropical plants, which do not always see. What sways exotic food - she, too mundane for those people, but here driven by reselling at times cheaper. People for the most part engaged in gathering, hunting. It is also interesting spectacle should go sometime and see. A completely different life and world view. One day after this, came home and see what you come from a much more pleasant place. But it's worth noting that there are more severe weather conditions, but not in terms of temperature. Strong hurricane winds, tropical storms, for example, also has its troubles. To some extent, you feel helpless there, are not there those concrete houses and all that. But is not the point. Firms just so engaged and that monitor weather conditions, that there were more tourists and fewer complaints. So somehow worth going there. Mark loved ones or friends. With all great friends - will be something to share, and then tell the rest)

Thank you for your blog and detailed photo by Fiji. Go to Fiji - a dream of my husband, but I am very afraid of flights, even 2-3 hours, and so on and 30 hours and even with transfers and say nothing. Now slowly began to collect information about the country, my husband still has prevailed upon me to go to Fiji in 2015, and at heart would love to go on the other side of the world. Really want to see the culture of other countries, is the opposite of what we usually see on vacation. More often Russians fly to Turkey and Egypt because of their all-inclusive system, cleaned beaches and a short flight. Most people will napryazhno fly to the other end of the earth, knowing that on the beach can be sharks and stingrays in the sand. Poverty affects the local population of Fiji, although really, why do they need money there. They lived many centuries and did not complain. For example, in Egypt the same basic budget income tourism brings, but they have everything built up tremendous pace and is aimed at the tourists to come back to them in the country. Although Egypt is not able to boast pristine sea and nature, for which the traveler is flying to Fiji. Fiji fly like an average person without queries (again in the room for 20 bucks a night for sure and may be bugs and cockroaches and other "charms") or moneybags who still much to pay for the rest, because it flies in the five-star hotel for fun white beaches. I think that the decisive factor in the choice to stay in this country still lack of civilization. You say local friendly to tourists, and why not. I get the impression (though I think it's a scientifically proven fact) that if a person lives in the country and sees the sun 365 days a year it produces the hormone of happiness, respectively, from all happy and wants only good. If local will rush to the visitors, it is unlikely to provide the country with the flow of tourists. For me, the greatest disadvantage is that in Fiji tours are not created for lovers of archeology, but mostly it is an active pastime, scuba diving, snorkeling and more. Many visit Fiji to simply lie on the beach all the rest, sunbathing and sipping guava juice or kava. I have 2 weeks lying on the beach speckle would finally and watch the local "flavor" begrudgingly I have. Everyone chooses something for everyone, just in Fiji is where to turn.

What a beauty, just eye-catching. Especially color, so juicy shades of green from lime green to emerald. Very beautiful mountains, we also have mountains, but such a wonderfully green no. And these islands like the ocean alive, remind one "live" island with meerkats from the film "Life of Pi". Such interesting people in the photo, as from another planet, let all people will welcoming and friendly. Very fabulous place everywhere unfortunately, it is impossible to visit, and Oceania are very far away from us, but there is the possibility of reading the photo report, plunge at some time in the green grass and the blue ones of Fiji water.

Awesome photo report! Very colorful and juicy picture you get. Islands - a paradise for lovers of beautiful pictures, it's a fact! Photo revised several times, you have managed to capture the atmosphere of the islands, so that the impression that I myself visited them. Looking through your photos, I remembered a year ago left the airport in Phuket, what a shock experienced by incredible heat after a cool St. Petersburg and how I was struck to the core desire of local absolutely disinterestedly help foreigners who hardly have chosen from the airport. By the author immediately the question: if you had problems in communicating with local (I mean, if there was not a language barrier, or most well know Fijians Inglish)? You mentioned the fact that many live in Fiji Indians. In my opinion, the Indians are very positive and good people, I believe, the author of the previous comment some atypical Indians met spoiled big city and his own desire to earn as much on tourists :) And about not the most attractive city beach ... IMHO, in most tourist towns and resorts "main" beach leaves much to be desired, but tourists see brochures with beautiful blue sea and white sand in the office tour and think that it will look like every beach. And here and there! For "bounty", usually have to go to neighboring islands on a guided tour, there will be a paradise, privacy, etc. :) With your permission, to ask you, perhaps, a few more questions. Tell us a little about the local cuisine! What dishes from the kitchen of Fiji you've tried and what your impressions of it? And yet, do you think there will rest comfortably in Fiji with a small child? Thank you in advance for your answers! Ask not just idle curiosity. The fact that my family and I live in Thailand in Phuket for a year, is a little pall, I would like to travel to other, no less interesting and scenic spots. Thinking of the Philippines, Bali or Fiji, but by reading travel blogs and seeing lots of pictures of other islands, I concluded they all so similar to each other! Friendly locals, tropical heat, palm trees, white sand, clear sea, numerous small islands around the splendid beauty of sunsets and nature in general, unusual for a Russian exotic cuisine, delicious fruit ... I would like briefly to change the situation and to visit another country rest from Thailand. Thank you for an interesting photo report! I sincerely wish you many beautiful places and delight readers of your blog vivid photos and exciting stories!

Does not necessarily have to fly through Korea, Hong Kong and through faster and cheaper. Joint round-about 6 hours (Aeroflot-Fiji Air), falls back on the day in Hong Kong, the brakes, but it is only a plus-there is something to see. But in general, the report informative (with a tourist's perspective, of course), learned their homes ... Our there is at least a thousand years of almost one million tourists, so few people know about this fabulous region of former cannibals ...

Cool report) Fiji - is one of those paradises where should definitely visit. A bird's-eye, he looks no worse than the landscape from some "lost worlds". By the way, did not know that "rogue states" filmed near Fiji, although there the nature even now allows you to shoot movies on some desert island. Probably after Russia is like a breath of fresh air - no traffic jams, rudeness. Although it is clear that many of the beaches so plump occupied by tourists and local travelers) Fiji is good not only beaches and sea but also mountains too. Though the mountains are not as high, but look amazing. And, of course, where without these small islands)

Can only envy white envy the residents of these places, they have such a cool nature, that I could hardly tore his gaze from the photos. At first I seemed unkempt beaches on the scattered small stones, which I took to be rubbish, but then I saw the other pictures, where they were filmed and sandy beaches of the island and immediately changed its opinion. The men in the national costume, as the Scots included skirt, I do not even suspect. A look that captured the so-called bird's eye view shows all the beauty of nature, gladly went to live there and the food they certainly healthy, because a circle is full of fish.
